You love your kids, but if we’re being honest, most of the time you feel like you are barely hanging on, just trying desperately not to lose your cool. You want to give your kids a better childhood than you had, you want to stay as calm as those moms on social media, but you keep falling into the same patterns over and over again. The more parenting strategies you try, the more overwhelmed and riddled with shame and anxiety you become.

Hello! Throughout my professional life I have had the opportunity to work with children, teenagers and adults who have struggled with issues such as grief and loss, depression and suicidal ideation, anxiety, interpersonal relationship difficulties, and self-esteem issues. I take a relaxed and non-judgmental approach in working with clients, in hopes that therapy will be as comfortable and organic as possible. Struggling from time to time is an inevitable part of life, and sometimes a different perspective or a shift in coping strategies can help to guide you through the tough times.

I offer counselling to people that are highly sensitive and highly empathic. Many of my clients are intuitive and seem to know things and see things that others aren't aware of. This often leaves them feeling out of place, isolated, and unsure if they can trust themselves. A common issue is being in relationships where you over give but are told you are not doing enough. This can lead to overthinking, overanalyzing, anxiety, depression, and low-self esteem. You might know what you want to do, what you want to say but get stuck because of the worry of hurting the other person's feelings.
